I just spoke to Greg Goodall who is here in NL and after that I dug out my boat that was underneath 300 mm of sand. We had a big storm going over our coastline for the last 2.5 days and I feared my boat got damaged. The hulls are okay but I fear the trampoline has been stretched to its extreme. There was 200 mm of sand on it and as it had rained as well it was waterlogged. Dry sand is given as 1600 kg /m^3. I calculate that some 1.91*1.81* 0,20 * 1600 = 1087 kg !!! was lying on my trampoline. I took it off very carefully. The Trampoline is hard now as all the elasticity has gone and it almost behaves like a hard plate shaped to a 3D shape. I hope it either resumes it manufactured shape over the next couple of days as platics sometimes do or else that I can get it within acceptable parameters again by pulling on some tension strings. Else I'll have a problem for the coming event I'm organising.

Will read your mail now !
